The Credits: "The Fifth Element"

PrintThe Lakers received bad news several hours before their game against the Philadelphia 76ers: Coach Mike Brown was to be suspended one game as punishment for his tantrum during Saturday's Utah Jazz game, and Assistant Coach John Kuester would be in charge for the night. Happy Monday, Lakers! Then the game happened, a 95-90 loss, leaving the Lakers at 1-2 halfway through their road trip.
All was not lost, however, as there were a couple of bright spots in the meltdown. First, Kobe Bryant passed Shaquille O'Neal to reach #5 on the NBA's all time scorers list, behind only Wilt Chamberlain, Michael Jordan, Karl Malone and Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Kobe now has 28,601 points, and he did it in his hometown, something he really wanted to do. Even former teammate/frenemy Shaq offered his congratulations on such an accomplishment. No doubt Kobe has had a career for the ages, and he's still not done. We are all witnesses. The other bright spot? Andrew Bynum's second career 20/20 game. Other than that, I got nothin'.
The Lakers' current Grammys road trip is far from their longest at six games. They played nine games away from home in '07-'08 and went 7-2; in '09-'10, they played eight and went 5-3. By any measure, the 2008 trip was their most successful, not just by record, but because they left pregnant with Kwame Brown and came home with a baby brother for Kobe named Pau Gasol. That said, don't expect this trip to end on the same high, even if the Lakers end up going 3-3. Even Pau Gasol acknowledges that change could be a'comin' sometime soon with the trade deadline set for March 15, a short five weeks away.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Next up: the 13-10 Boston Celtics. Maybe we can arrange for Tom Brady and Wes Welker to suit up for them and spot us two points to start the game.

Who will be their starting SG? Mo Williams?
They’ll probably go after JR Smith.

Aha
Bryant has already won his unofficial battle with Bynum and Gasol, too. Remember all that Brown talk entering the season about how the Lakers would focus on posting up Bynum or Gasol and save Bryant for the weak side, where he would operate outside the defense’s focus? Please.

hmmm... didn't see the game... but seems like Kobe had one of those games where he was hot too early
Thats never good for us.

Was facilitator 3rd, good for us. Decided to iso while being out of rhythm, bad for us

LOL
he should’ve played the whole game!
:( our bench
Exactly. He was hot hot hot and I think he could have continued. 8-12 in the first half, talk about a zone.
I was in my car and I said to myself, “Kobe will come back and hit one shot, then he’ll be shit for the rest of the game.” Pretty much what happened. 2 more made shots and 14 misses, most of them in the 4Q ’cuz he was passing in the 3Q.

Bynum
a 20-20 guy? i still believe he can be this for us! and He’s still not playing his best.
What do you guys think about JR. Smith?
with billups getting injured,
i think he goes to the clips because they can offer him a starting spot on a young exciting team that is 2nd in the west.

lebron should just lock himself away and not talk for the rest of forever-LA32
But he shouldn't need to be the primary scorer for the Knicks to be a threat.
Melo played bad both games, and Amare didn’t even play the last game. So if Melo bounces back, that team is gonna be a lot better than 10-15.

but most coaches and players prob knew nothing about him
now they will.

so you're not buying into his hype..
what I saw with the highlights is that he had a quick first step (good luck fisher) and has good court vision. the jumpshot is a bit creaky but he hits it. he drove to the right most of the time.

oh, he will be a good player for them.
but he aint puttin up 25 & 28 on a regular basis.

Yea, he's not gonna become the primary scorer, at least I don't he is.
But the Knicks needed a point guard, and they were waiting for Baron to not be basketball cripple, when they had one on their bench just sitting there. LOL @ D’antoni for not even trying him once before.
by Fin Fan Forever on Feb 7, 2012 10:42 AM PST up reply actions
Well, it took all of five minutes to figure out that he can ONLY go right off pick-and-rolls.
Doesn’t take a genius to realize what the proper defensive measure is after that. He doesn’t shoot particularly well either, so go under the screen, hedge hard when he tries to go around the pick, and boom, Knicks offense stalled.

As opposed to how milsap looked?
Or how Morris looked? Or even Glock. This Preseason really doesn’t count for much in evaluating players. I would b happy with Milsap too but he didn’t even touch the floor in preseason but we dnt hold it against him. Green is putting up nice numbers plus his fg/3pt % is good. I dnt think you can wrong with either but I do like him having some actual NBA experience under his belt.

after looking at their stats,
either one could deserve a look. both are shooting over 40% from 3. i just thought milsap would fit better into the hole we have at backup sg. we r hurting at sf, but id rather try ebanks than green. i guess green could fit in at the 2 as well.
and who is brandon costner. a pf with an offensive game who also shoots 40% from 3. give him a try too, lol.

I think a youth injection is needed
Someone to bring some kind of excitement to the team and perform pretty well also. For all the flack Shannon got, all it took was 1 amazing dunk to get the crowd and our players amped up and in the game.

The same can b said about Lin
He can’t play,not athletic enough etc and he’s been a surprise. Hell we have Kapono on the team and he can’t play lol Give him a chance. That’s the purpose of the DLeague isn’t it? We’ve all screamed for milsap and he’s getting his rep from Dleague play. Its not like either one can possibly b worse than what we have

jeremy lin beasted on john wall in summer league, he's shown flashes
lin has great court vision. we saw gerald lee in preseason before, he doesn’t have a feel for the game. i dont know what he can do well. he even missed an easy lob dunk.
i’d much rather have veterans right now. we dont have time for projects
Follow me: @theshmoes.
We have vets and how has that worked out for us?
A 2nd rd Rookie is the captain of our bench unit. Vets metta barnes kapono Fisher and Murphy are pretty much garbage. Ill take Green and Milsap over Kapono anyday.
Whats funny is we wanted to disregard the preseason when we lost to the clippers yet want to use it as a viable resource to evaluate players this year. Green contributed early in his career and i dnt think its impossible for him to have learned since then.

I watched him the other night.
Which was probably one of the most painful things I’ve done in a while since D-League announcers are terrible and the level of play is pretty bad. His jumper looks okay and he does get good elevation on it, but his IQ is still pretty bad. Against the level of competition he faces, it’s good that he performs well and you could argue that he fills a role as a spot-up shooter and explosive cutter, but he needs to get his head screwed on right.

Exactly
Im not saying to give him the keys to the car and let him go but in a certain role he could be useful

I like him, if that wasn't obvious enough.
I think his basketball IQ has improved, though it still needs work. For example, Green sometimes loses his man on defense when he doesn’t have the ball. Still doesn’t move as often as he should offensively such as cutting to the basket. However, he does circle around the perimeter to make himself available for a pass when Collins is driving, Millsap is posted up, or Costner is posting up.
Jumper is pure from midrange and three point range. That jumper has carried where ever he played. The thing I like about Green is that he’s much more coachable and a better teammate than he’s ever been. He also shown to be a willing passer, but still predominantly a score first player. Shown flashes of being a good weak side shot blocker. Rebounding isn’t that good. Probably needs to get stronger, but his on-the-ball defense is better. Not the best at getting around screens.
I like him and Elijah Millsap. If I had a choice, I would choose Millsap before Green.
This trade deadline is affecting the play of an aweful lot of players.
It’s been affecting Pau all season.
But, when asked,
Mitch said: “I think he took it well,” about Pau, right after Lamar left.
Debateable?
Wonder what Mitch meant by that statement.
The next five futile weeks will be morbidly interesting.

@Probballdraft
Source tells PBD that Johnny Flynn wants to be moved for opportunity to play more/start & not to count out LA. Lakers coach Brown likes him.
Not sure I would even waste a roster spot on him. He’s bad. Really bad.

The interview with Kobe with Stephen A is so awesome....well to me it is
Kobe was asked if he would play somewhere else? No. To quote him, “that ship has sailed”
The interesting or surprising part was when he himself asked Stephen A a rhetorical question and said ,“Do you think I’ll be in the NBA averaging 18 19 points?” Kobe answered his own question by saying “HELL NO!!”

JR Smith section included
Multiple sources say Smith is looking for the opportunity to showcase his talents and while the Knicks certainly need help at guard, J.R. has already had a stint with Carmelo Anthony. That may not be as appealing to Smith as some might think.
A more appealing option might be the Minnesota Timberwolves who have their $2.5 million, are suddenly a .500 team and have a true need at the two long-term. Coach Rick Adelman has a tremendous reputation for bringing out the best in players who have had difficulty adjusting to the NBA (Metta World Peace nee Ron Artest)

Rondo cant shoot outside,
but if u take into account his ability to get by people, and his court vision – he could really help this team. Surround him with shooters and the core of Bynum and Rondo will keep us relevant post-Kobe.

and Glock and Murphy.
For all the grief we give the bench, Glock and Murph both still shoot well above 40%. Its everybody else (Kobe, Metta, Fish, Barnes) that is killing our team percentage.

Glock plays point guard and Murphy's shooting isn't going to mean much when
he simply can’t defend. Ditto for Kapono. Lakers need shooters at the three and two.
As much as I would love Rondo
it is not worth Pau Gasol because the Lakers will lose the rebounding even though Rondo is a great rebounder.

Even if u can get a rugged PF like Bass in the trade,
and possibly a SF who shoots 40% from 3 like Pietrus.

I would do it then. Bass is a very old 26.
